Re: How could you tell if an applicaiton will run in Standard Edition

On the other hand 2 quad core dual processor HP servers currently are quoted
at around $15k. (assuming 8g memory each). The SE license for that is an eye
watering $65k, but the EE license for the same system would be an altogether
ludicrous $468k. In fact you get the 2 dual processor quad core solution
using RAC and SE for the same list price as a *single* processor license for
EE with RAC.

Methinks that recent hardware improvements and SE licensing changes make a
pretty compelling case for SE nowadays. Unless of course you happen to have
one of those license deals (site licenses for example) that Oracle 'don't
do'.
